What the heck is going on with Google? Do I have spyware? (computer help)

[Walking Man]

Every time I go to Google,
which I do constantly,
I get the search that I wanted,
then after a second or two,
(the loading bar is almost done, but not quite)
the search changes to bunch of ADS!!!!
I'm actually rather mad about this BS.
Can anyone help me?
I've run both Adaware and Spybot,
with Zero luck.
thanks.

It's called Starware,
and whenever I go there, a web toolbar loads itself onto my computer.
WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!?!?
Kill the spammers!!!!!

Go into your msconfig, and hopefully you can kill it there until you get another adware/spyware program to kill it for good.

Check Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel. It might be sitting in there and remove it. You need to then remove the leftover junk by running Adaware and Spybot. Be sure to turn off System Restore before removing it and then run Adaware and Spybot in Safe Mode. This should do the trick. If not you can PM me for my cell number and I will walk you through it.

You might try Ixquick the next time you need a search engine. IMO, it's much better, plus, they're not anti gun, anti knife, like google.

And for goodness sakes stop using IE people, I've used Mozilla for months and have not gotten a hijack, spyware, or a popup since.

When your PC's back to normal, download Spyware Blaster 3.2.

That should prevent a recurrence.

Same thing happens to me.

I always thought it was Google trying to make a few more bucks.
